Glowing

My first car was vomit yellow:

That's not actually it by the way.  Mine was three years younger than that one but still had the dodgy bonnet.  It was a Triumph Dolomite just like that one - British Leyland called the colour Sandglow.

 

Here is a picture of me reflected in the not-so-dodgy bonnet of my current car.  Jaguar call the colour "Jaguar Racing Green.":

However, as you can see from the photo, it's looking a little Sandglow-ish.

 

BBC Scotland have explained why.

 

The sand has come over North Africa.  Making work for the British car washes.  Sometimes accused of employing illegal immigrants in slavery conditions.

 

I'll leave it to the Mail Readers to put 2 and 2 together and make 5.
